I have wanted to make a quilt that represents where I live in the
Texas Panhandle. For a while I have had images of quilt designs
floating around in my head and I finally bought some fabric and got
inspired to come up with my "Prairie Points of Interest" quilt. In
this design the center focus blocks represent the wild vegetation that
is naturally treeless, the flying geese are representative of the
Canadian Geese that migrate to this area over the winter (they are
everywhere, and I love it), the circles show the 'Playa Lakes' that
abound in the region, the stripes are the furrows of the countless
fields that are planted in corn, cotton, sunflowers, or wheat, and the
open spaces convey the feeling of openness that surrounds the high
plains. I intended for it to have a modern feel to it and the
vertical quilting maintains that feeling. I am really pleased with it
and proud of myself for doing it. I even put a label on the back,
yeah!
